Serious (and not so serious) ownership predictions

Let's go ahead and engage in some unfounded speculation (unlike what we usually do here).

Things you predict could happen depending on which bidder wins the Panthers sale, whether serious or... not so much.

 

If David Tepper buys the team...

Someone from the Steelers front office takes over as GM.

The "family" atmosphere is gone. From here on out it's all business.

Upgrades to team facilities and maybe even an indoor practice facility could become possibilities.

The team institutes a reward program where the player who makes a difference in the game gets a set of brass balls instead of the game ball.

 

If Ben Navarro buys the team...

A consultant is brought in to help overhaul the team's operation. Joe Gibbs could be an option.

The team will make more of an effort to market in South Carolina.

Training camp most likely stays in South Carolina, but may not stay at Wofford.

People who get behind on their PSL or season ticket payments suddenly start getting aggressive collection goals.

 

If Alan Kestenbaum buys the team...

Justified or not (and probably not) people start talking about the possibility of the team moving to Canada.

A consultant likely comes into play here too, maybe a guy like Ernie Accorsi.

The team motto becomes "Keep poundin, eh."

(yes I know he's originally from Brooklyn; don't take it so seriously)

 

What else ya got?

Dave Tepper would run the franchise like George Bluth

Ben Navarro would run the franchise like Jack Donaghy 

Alan Kestenbaum would run the franchise like Sam Malone

 

Me personally, I want someone to run the franchise like Frank Reynolds runs paddy's pub.

George Soros buys the team. He then institutes a "guns-for-tickets" program, whereby fans can trade in their guns for game tickets so the guns can be melted into an Obama statue. Everyone with a red MAGA hat will angrily boycott the team, but the business will remain profitable through a successful tenure that includes re-signing Cam and Luke as well as hiring 9/11 truther Pete Carroll to both coach the team and put up a new locker room sign, "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams."

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
